Saint Etienne’s Debut Album ‘Foxbase Alpha’ Turns 35 | Album Anniversary

Evocative of time (early ‘90s) and emblematic of place (London), ‘Foxbase Alpha’ is a gorgeous pastiche of symbiotic sounds and expertly incorporated samples.

Olivia Newton-John’s ‘Physical’ Turns 45 | Album Anniversary

Having been previously regarded as a predominantly country and adult contemporary artist, Newton-John’s provocative eleventh studio affair set about to frame the singer in a new light.

Freddie Hubbard’s ‘First Light’ Turns 55 | Album Anniversary

With ‘First Light,’ the legendary trumpeter pushed the musical envelope to make something radically different from his previous works, as he distanced himself from the soul-jazz model.
